Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli
Barcelona
The Protocol of the 37th America’s Cup sailing competition required teams to use a hydrogen-powered support vessel; Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli built and designed its own HSV. Genevos delivered 160 kW plug and play hydrogen fuel cell power systems, engineering, integration, and commissioning services. Specifically managing the hydrogen storage and gas management, including the safety management strategy. “The HSV was an important and complex challenge for the team”, said Umberto De Luca, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli’s special projects manager. Hydrogen propulsion for civil use, in fact, is a field that is still being explored and the know-how to draw on is very limited. This is why we are proud to have built and developed an incredible boat, advanced in every respect and, above all, equipped with such an innovative motorization. The hydrogen catamaran required a lot of commitment from the entire team and will be an important benchmark for future projects.
By introducing hydrogen support boats, the event cuts the use of 78,000 litres of fossil fuel, preventing around 181,531 kg of CO₂ emissions (according official AC37 source). Besides, Green hydrogen (produced from renewable energy) minimizes lifecycle emissions compared with fossil fuels. At last, no soot, nitrogen oxides, or particulate emissions, which improves local air quality, especially in busy coastal and port environments.
The Hydrogen Power Modules (HPMs) developed by Genevos are a drop-in, zero emissions power solution for marine vessels. The modules are fully-integrated, marinised power packs capable of replacing existing fossil-fuelled engines and generators with a clean solution that is competitive on weight, motoring range, and cost of ownership. The HPMs offer a diverse range of applications to meet the reduction in emissions required across the maritime sector, from primary and hybrid propulsion in small to medium vessels, to powering auxiliary systems for large ships in order to reduce inshore and in-port pollution. The modular technology is highly scalable enabling it to meet the large anticipated growth in green hydrogen over the next decade, which will be vital to the decarbonization of the marine sector
